Why it’s Important to Eliminate Stumps after Removing Trees

by Ash Rock Tree Service • 29 June 2025

While a tree stump might seem harmless, it can cause several problems if left standing. Eliminating stumps after tree removal is an important step in maintaining a healthy, attractive, and functional outdoor space. At Ash Rock Tree Service , our local arborists provide expert stump grinding and removal in the greater Salem, OR area. Here are five reasons to take care of leftover stumps as soon as possible. They Attract Pests Dead tree stumps are a magnet for pests, especially insects like termites and carpenter ants. As the wood decays, it becomes an ideal habitat for these unwanted guests. Over time, these pests can spread to nearby trees or even migrate into your home, causing further damage. Removing the stump eliminates this potential breeding ground and reduces the risk of infestations on your property. They Interfere with Lawn Care A stump in the middle of your yard can make routine lawn maintenance a hassle. It can damage lawnmower blades, limit your ability to trim grass evenly, and make other landscaping tasks more difficult. Over time, this can lead to uneven turf and poor curb appeal. Removing the stump helps restore a smooth, usable lawn surface. They Pose a Tripping Hazard A stump left in your yard can be a serious tripping hazard, particularly for children and anyone who isn’t familiar with your landscape. Whether it's hidden by grass or obscured in low light, a stump increases the risk of injury. This is especially concerning in high-traffic areas of your property. Eliminating the stump helps make your yard safer for everyone who uses it. They Can Lead to Regrowth Even after a tree is cut down, the stump can sometimes sprout new shoots and attempt to regrow. These suckers often grow rapidly and can become difficult to control. By removing the stump entirely, you prevent this unwanted regrowth and keep your landscaping tidier. They Detract from Your Property's Appearance Even if the stump is low to the ground or tucked away, it still detracts from the overall appearance of your landscape. A rotting stump looks neglected, especially when compared to a well-maintained lawn or garden. By eliminating the stump, you improve your property’s visual appeal and boost its curb value.

4 Signs That a Tree Is Prone to Toppling Over Unexpectedly

by Ash Rock Tree Service • 27 May 2025

Big trees can become serious hazards if they're structurally compromised. Trees that are prone to falling over without warning can cause major property damage and pose risks to people and pets. It's crucial to recognize the warning signs early and take appropriate action. At Ash Rock Tree Service, our local arborists can identify hazardous trees and remove them as needed. Here are four signs that a tree may be at risk of unexpectedly toppling over. Leaning More Than Usual A slight lean in a tree may not be a cause for concern if it's been that way for years and is growing normally. However, if a tree suddenly develops a new or more pronounced lean, it could indicate an unstable root system or internal decay. A sudden change in posture often means the tree is struggling to anchor itself, especially if the soil around the base looks disturbed or cracked. Trees that lean dramatically, especially after storms or heavy rains, should be evaluated by a professional immediately. Cracked or Uplifted Soil Around the Base The roots are what hold a tree upright, and when they begin to fail, one of the warning signs is a change in the soil around the trunk. If the ground appears cracked or uneven, it could mean that the tree is shifting. This is especially dangerous after prolonged rainfall, which can soften the soil and make it easier for roots to become unanchored. Decay or Hollowing in the Trunk Rotting or hollow areas in the trunk are a red flag for structural weakness. Trees with visible cavities and/or significant fungal growth in the trunk may not be able to support their own weight. While some hollow trees can remain standing for years, they are significantly more prone to falling unexpectedly, especially under the stress of high winds. A tree with large sections of decay should always be examined by an experienced arborist. Visible Root Damage Exposed, damaged, or decaying roots can drastically reduce a tree’s ability to remain upright. Construction and soil compaction can harm roots. Trees with significant root damage are much more likely to fall over during storms or high winds. If major roots are visible and show signs of damage or decay, the tree's stability could be seriously compromised.
